It's not bad for a freebie but it's unfortunately very repetitive and the grind is possibly the worst I've encountered. For the first hour or so it's not bad but once you realise the grind involved most will drop it fast. The gunplay isn't bad but it suffers from awful bosses and generic enemies. If you are a genuine oddball like GoodForm you will take to it. Most other normal people will avoid.

Yeah I played it with all additional content. Like I said it isn't bad but the grind isn't for me. Not when the gameplay loop gets repetitive after a few hours. Having to farm a boss for materials 20+ times really started to get on my tits to be honest.

Others will absolutely take to it and like I said it's a freebie so maybe I'm being a bit unfair. I'm genuinely baffled how it's so popular on steam though.

@THFourteen you should have a look at some of the reviews on other websites of the stuff that's out already for it. There's an awful lot of stuff that's single player and not platfomer based. I was fairly amazed at all the gems out there that I've never heard of. Quite a few rpgs etc if you look.

I think the key is the game does a good job of making you feel superpowered. When you're bullet-jumping through then air aim gliding to pop off a couple of headshots then landing and force lighting-ing a bunch of enemies you're pretty much playing the end of Thor Ragnarok. And it's like that all the time, rather than the 10-20 seconds most games give you.

left joy con is acting up. I remember nintendo fixed them for free but was that only for a short time after launch?
It's been doing it since launch but got worse recently. the old left stick is not working or getting stuck or randomly dragging left without me touching it.

has anyone sent one off to be fixed?
how long did it take roughly?

Yeah i think my Joycons are starting to show a bit of wear and tear. I think my right shoulder buttons sticks so sometimes on the home screen it will scroll to the right. Doesn't seem to effect in game though and lately aiming down on the left analogue stick doesn't always seem to work. When i tried to re-calibrate them i had a few issues too. Still manageable though, but i might pick up a new pair soon.

It's just that it would have been under ki warranty then. You could try now anyway under sale of goods act if you're prepared to fight.

Isn't it 2 years warranty for UK?

People think that because we're in the EU, but our Sale of Goods Act is actually better than the 2 year EU one. The thing with both is that you have to prove that the issue isn't your fault. Some companies will roll over easily, some will try to make you jump through hoops to provide this proof in the hopes that you'll just give up. So as I say, go in expecting a fight, and if you don't have to then happy days.

spent a few lunch times trying out darkest dungeon. First impressions were this is a confusing mess, the writing is too small, holy shit this is stressful as i have no clue what i am doing and, oh my god... one of my guys just died of a heart attack.

Pushed on, took a little time to understand what is available in the starting area, picked a few short missions which gave me crests and built up my group of people.

I am on week 7 now, still really early and only have 3 people at lvl 2 but i have 180'd on this massively. This game is great the writing is still too small and the control scheme is just insane but it is perfect for the odd half hour play through to do a short/medium dungeon.

I gave up on it on Vita because the text was too small and the controls were way too fiddly. That's not what shoulder buttons were designed for! Was thinking of getting it on Switch but guess they never fixed those issues.
